Cooking Directions:
- Remove the lamb from the refrigerator and arrange on a platter. In a small bowl combine the oil, herbs, salt and pepper. Rub all sides of the chops with the oil mixture. Set the platter aside to allow the chops to come to room temperature. Approximately 30 minutes.
- Preheat the George Foreman Grill with the lid closed. Place the drip tray in front of the grill.
- When the grill is ready, place as many lamb chops that will fit on the grill and close the lid. After 6 minutes open the lid and flip the chops over and close the lid and cook for another 6 minutes.
- The chops are done when the internal temperature is 145°F for medium rare. Cook longer for medium (150°F) and well done chops (160°F) using a meat thermometer. Continue cooking until all chops are finished.
- Remove the chops from the grill and place on a clean platter or cutting board and season lightly with salt. Allow chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- While the lamb is resting, grill the pita bread just enough to get some char marks on both sides of the bread. You can cut these into 4 triangles or wedges, as you would a pizza.
- Turn off the grill by pulling the plug or by pressing the on/off button if your model has this option.
- Serve the lamb with the cucumber salad and pita.
